Q Parker (of the group 112) covers Beyoncé’s “1+1″

Crooner Q Parker, of the 90s R&B group 112, covers Beyoncé’s “1+1″ with his own emotional rendition. It’s a beautiful song, but Beyoncé’s forceful oversinging ruins the track for most listeners. Q actually sounds better than Beyoncé, who, I’m told is having a “nervous breakdown” of sorts. My sources (yes, more than one source) tells Sandrarose.com that Beyoncé and Jay Z, who co-manages her, strongly believe that Beyoncé’s avid Stans will save her by buying multiple copies of her upcoming CD, 4. And to ensure that they do, the label will take a page out of Lady Gaga’s book by slashing the price of the album to 0.99 cents! They might change their minds at the last minute, so please don’t quote me.

Q Parker and his handsome son, Quinnes Jr., covers the May/June 2011 issue of Urban Lux magazine.

    @HIS… Your homegirl (that would be me) is thinking of getting tatted eyebrows. What say you?

    Princess Pleasure Me says:

    @Fox… I always thought Mario was underrated or underpromoted or undersexy (that forehead and them braids) or something…. because all my R&B mix tapes have a song that I really like and have to google by the lyrics and they always end up being Mario….

    His version is definitely BETTER! I hope I can get this on Itunes or something! He should of recorded this first and why isnt he a solo artist? He can definitely hold his own with his fine azz

    Damn…can Beyonce catch a break? She’s been a daily post on here for the last couple weeks. Let go of the tit please :blink:

    SN: Listened to the ENTIRE album and it’s her best yet.

    @ Princess

    I got my eyebrows tatted and I love them. I think its a great investment, if you having very thin eyebrows or draw them on every morning

    @dmg…damn politics! I asked him the same question one year at For Sisters Only… they were mingling with everyone. I think they are under Def Jam now but whats the difference….

    I remember him being on Life Every Voice one Sunday morning and they were saying something like he was black balled from 112. I guess its because he didnt want to life that life and had a wife and kid at home. IMO.

    @Laci

    Really? I thought it was Mike who was the 1 saying he wasnt getting his royalty checks and made accusations of theft.

    Princess Pleasure Me says:

    I’m on the fence about the eyebrow thing… @LL, My hair rarely matches my brows now…but no, I hadn’t thought of that. @Laci, I have kinda thin ones and if someone waxes/threads/razors toomuch off then it takes months for them to grow back enough to be corrected. What kinda maintenence do you have now? tell me everything.

    @mrslove: I didnt know that. I will look into it.

    @Ty: That sucks. There seem to be politics in everything! It’s a shame though, he could have a nice solo career with that voice. He could sing the panties off me anytime! lol

    I saw Q at a show a few months back and he blew his a*s off. He’s really humble too.
    I don’t believe 112 will get back together. I was at a function with Slim recently and he said that was not going to happen.

    Q did say he was working on something. I hope he makes it as a solo artist

    I love it…but I love Beyonce’s version also! He sounds great.

    Why can’t we just let artists be who they are. Why do they always have to be compared to one another and forced to go against one another? People are stupid I swear…
